This client contacted us in November of 2012. They were interested in creating a new addition off the back of their historic main street home to make room for a new kitchen. Consistent with older historic homes, the existing kitchen was painfully small and simply did not indulge the owner’s love for cooking and for entertaining. There was no space to eat either in the kitchen or near it other than the formal dining room. They wanted a space that would provide a new expanded kitchen with an eat-in breakfast area that would blend and fit the interior and exterior historic character of the home, all while incorporating the modern amenities they had come to appreciate.
